Is Masters Needed After A Student Bags First Class Degree by opestein: 10:11am On Oct 06, 2014 |
fellow nairalanders, is it necessary for a first class student to go for masters? I was arguing with my friends so I'm not sure |

Re: Is Masters Needed After A Student Bags First Class Degree by Nobody: 5:02pm On Oct 06, 2014 |
Is very necessary,aside improvement in academics acquisition,it also give you an edge over other competitors in the labor market. |

When the system was academic oriented having a first class could put the world literally at your feet. You are sure of immediate employment from your institution of study or a multinational, you could proceed straight and do a PhD boycotting masters. But I think times have changed the world is now entertainment oriented and almost nobody cares if you made a first class. |

opestein:Your question is not quite precise It depends on where the person is coming from and where the person intends to go to. -If ur first class is from kpokpo gari university and you want to get high flying jobs in cool organisations, then you need a masters from a good university, and ur degree will easily get you admitted in a good one -1st class from kpokpo gari university won't get you into phd in a good top university straight away. U'd need a masters first -first class from a fairly good to very good university will get you into a phd straight away. It can even guarantee you a phd scholarship from a fairly good university and maybe from a top university -1st class from a kpokpo gari university can get you a masters scholarship in a fairly good or very good university. If you also ace your masters, then you can quite easily get a phd scholarship to the topmost world universities. So back to the question "is it necessary for a first class student to go for masters?" Answer: It depends |

Re: Is Masters Needed After A Student Bags First Class Degree by GboyegaD(m): 6:59pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
joshbouy: You can sure make a 4 point however 1st Class Wil be tough. |
Re: Is Masters Needed After A Student Bags First Class Degree by esere826: 9:59pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
donvidar: alentyno: ABU, UNN, and OAU are definitely not kpokpo gari universities as per the kpokpo gari ones, I have no specific comments but when you drive through a university and you are still looking for it then it sure is a kpokpo gari university 1 Like |
